Chage of lights and zoas not openingnup?

[Llama 72]

I recently changed my lights from 2 Pflizon lights to a 3' maxspect mr2.

110 gal tall tank.

Now my zoas and Kenya tree haven't opened back up for 5 days. I also treated ny tank with reef rx 10ndaus ago for HA.

what could be my problem?

Did you test your par before and after you switched lights? My guess is your light is too bright and the corals are still adjusting.

I’m not familiar enough with the MR2, but I’ve heard maxspect lights in general can be fairly strong. It may have an acclimation mode to help the corals get better adjusted to the light.

My 8 yr old maxspect r6 240w pushes 80 par at the surface, might be the other way round
